I’m taking the plunge. I’m going to participate in National Novel Writing Month in November. I’ve been wanting to do it for a while, and then a couple of blogs I stalkread are also participating, so I felt it was a little push from the universe (at least the internet universe) to put up or shut up.

Here’s my author info. I’m not sure what genre I’m in yet. My plot kind of feels like thinking woman’s chick lit but as that wasn’t a genre, I’m leaving it for now.

Anyone else in?

I’m a little scared, but in a good way. What’s the worst that can happen? I don’t finish. I guess I can live with that.

awalkabout: Yes, I saw there was a chick lit genre, but there wasn’t “thinking woman’s chick lit” which perhaps may be a sub-genre that I’ve just created. Perhaps I would be better suited to the Mainstream Fiction genre.

I think time will tell. In my head, it’s somewhere between those things. Once it’s on paper, who knows, maybe it will be science fiction.

jamboree: I just looked back to a comment you left in June–aren’t you performing in Iolanthe in November? Performing and writing at the same time? Yikes! Mind you, the fairies have some significant backstage time in the first act. Maybe you have a laptop?

WELCOME TO MY PRECARIOUSLY BALANCED UNIVERSE…

...in which I ask important questions like "If I'm the centre of the universe, why don't I get my way more often?" and "What if the laws of the universe are merely suggestions?" and of course the key questions, "Have you subscribed? How will I know you like me if you don't?"
